Another young France talent making waves in the footballing world is 21-year-old Olympique Lyonnais pocket dynamo Houssem Aouar. The France international is a playmaker who is very hard to get off the ball and is also very elegant on the ball.

Much like Arsenal's Dani Ceballos, Aouar is an incredible dribbler, with an eye to pick out the most outrageous pass as well. The 21-year-old is also not afraid to have shot on goal and he definitely has a knack of scoring goals from midfield.

This season in Ligue 1, the midfield maestro has scored 2 goals and assisted a further 3, but the thing to look at is that he averages almost 70 touches per game - a high number for a playmaker. Aouar loves to come deep and operate as a No. 8 but he usually finds himself on the left-wing ready to drive inside, whenever he gets the ball.

With Lyon finding it hard in the French league this season, a January transfer is not an unlikely thing and he is someone Mourinho should definitely target to replace Giovanni Lo Celso if the Argentine decides to leave.
